56 // Sometimes you want to be able to manipulate protocol types that you don't
57 // know about at compile time.  It would be nice to be able to construct
58 // a Message object which implements the message type given by any arbitrary
59 // Descriptor.  DynamicMessage provides this.
60 //
61 // As it turns out, a DynamicMessage needs to construct extra
62 // information about its type in order to operate.  Most of this information
63 // can be shared between all DynamicMessages of the same type.  But, caching
64 // this information in some sort of global map would be a bad idea, since
65 // the cached information for a particular descriptor could outlive the
66 // descriptor itself.  To avoid this problem, DynamicMessageFactory
67 // encapsulates this "cache".  All DynamicMessages of the same type created
68 // from the same factory will share the same support data.  Any Descriptors
69 // used with a particular factory must outlive the factory.
